Do you guys have a link to the VLC app on the iOS App Store? I ask because there are so many clones it is very hard to find it. On a related note. Is there anything you can do (trademark, etc.) about getting the scammy clones off of the store?

When Apple CDN is fixed, you'll find it here: http://itunes.apple.com/app/vlc-ios/id650377962

According to our WWDR contact, there is no way to blacklist trademarks you own on the App Store, so we need to send DMCA take-down notices for all infringements. We sent 39 against 48 apps last year and it takes apple up to 3 months to pull the apps, even for obvious violations.

So, it's the first time we do a coordinated release of VLC. We're doing it for desktop (Linux, Windows, OS X) and mobile ports (Android, Windows Phone, Windows RT, iOS) but also for Android TV. It's been quite difficult, but we're finishing the work we've started 2 years ago to move to mobile: the code base is now ready for that, without hacks. So, a lot of the cooler stuff for mobile are going to happen for 3.0.0 th…

Just wanted to say thanks for the project, great to have something like this cross-platform and open. Users should, if financially possible, donate when they download it.

Many of us donated for VLC for WP/WinRT on Kickstarter in 2012 and it's still in very early phases. :(

Cool, this means I can access the network from Lua plugins again, which was accidentally broken (for a trivial reason, code-wise) in 2.1. Apparently the bug was fixed almost a year ago [1], but the functionality remained unusable in the 2.1 patches.

Yes, and it's properly fixed, so it won't break again.

Great work!

Has the move to mobile benefited the desktop in any way? I see an auto-rotate feature.

Yes. Video acceleration, rotation, less performance wasted, and mostly a better libVLC (used by the mobile port, not the desktop).

Any word on why the iOS version has apparently been pulled again?

In iOS I'm seeing 2.4.1 Feb 12th update offered but then 'No longer available' when I hit update

Looking forward to checking out the local streaming changes - DLNA stopped working for me a while ago, although I didn't take the time to figure out if the problem was with PMS or VLC.
